How do I hide the background color?

I am having trouble with backgrounds, I think.  When I move a clip to the work area all I get is a solid red color I believe it to be the background color) with the sound still there.  What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure why you're seeing red. If anything, a background should be black before you add anything to it.
If you want a background behind a clip, just put it on the Video 1 track and put your clip on the Video 2 track above it.
If your clips are all coming out red, it could be that they're using an incompatible codec or that you've got a mismatch between project settings and your source. What type of camcorder did this video come from and how did you get it into your computer? What project settings are you using in Premiere Elements?
I've got several books available on Premiere Elements available on Amazon.com and from Muvipix.com. If you need some introductory training with Premiere Elements, check out my Basic Training with Premiere Elements tutorials, the first batch of which are free on Premiere Elements support site http://Muvipix.com.

  • How do I change the background color of a row in a table indicator?

    Hello,
      How do I change the background color of a row in a table indicator? I know how to change the background color in a active cell, but that is not what I want. My first intent is to make the background color of the first row a unique color, such as green, just to highlight the top row of the table.
    Regards,
    Kaspar

    I have done this before by using a for loop to change the active cell of a row in order to give the appearance that the whole row is turning the color at once.

  • How do I change the background color of my canvas in FCPX?, How do I change the background color of my canvas in FCPX?

    How do I change the background color of my canvas in FCPX? I changed it from black to checkered but would like to return it to it's orginal settings.
    Thanks

    You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

  • How do I hide the background when I shape an image in 3D?

    This is a problem that has cropped up before but I'm going to simulate it.
    Say in this instance I want to overlay the picture of a kitten over a ball image. I've already extracted (roughly) the background from the kitten picture. I want to use 3D to warp it to the shape of a sphere but I've still got the ball's default background colour as well. How do I hide the background colour of the ball entirely so only the, warped, image of the kitten is visible to overlay over the ball image?
         When I wrap the kitten image onto a 3D sphere mesh preset I get the default background
         And when I try to overlay it over the 2D ball image the background prevents correct overlaying. I want just the kitten pic
    Thanks

    You apply the texture to the transparency of the material.

  • How do you change the background color?

    I saved a Word document as a PDF and the background color is yellow. The Word document is white. On the PDF, the background is yellow and the inserted graphics and boxes are white.
    How do I change the background color of the PDF? And is there a default setting for the color. This happens every time I need to create a PDF from a Word document.
    Thank you.

  • How do you change the background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

    How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
    I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
    from black to white or cream.
    I am working with Elements 10...

    Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1.  Then place your video on track 2.
    from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
    Create a colored matte for a background
    You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
    Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
    Click Project Assets. 
    In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte. 
    Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK. 
    A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.

  • Can I invoke a SubVI in an event? and how do I set the background color of a pipe to #0000ff?

    When I click an image or a glass pipe(which belongs to Industry/Chesmitry category in palette), I want a SubVI to be invoked.
    The purpose is to fetch an OPC-UA data from a web service and to write to it via the service.
    We are building an HMI solution which displays an interactive water plant diagram.
    When users click pipes and motors in the diagram, clicked devices should be turned on and off and change their animations or colors accordingly.
    OPC-UA is for communication with devices.
    I couldn't even set the background color of a pipe to "#0000ff", but setting it to "Red" or "Blue" was possible, and I don't know how to invoke SubVIs in event scripts.
    The documentations in NI.com are confusing and lack depth.
    Even silverlight references are confusing.
    How do I do all of these?

    Hi iCat,
    Can you provide some more information about your current implementation so that we can help to answer your questions. Some questions I have for you are:
    Are you creating this project in the NI LabVIEW Web UI Builder or in LabVIEW?
    How are you publishing your webservice? Is this also in LabVIEW?
    How is your webservice interacting with an OPC-UA server?
    How is the certification set up with OPC-UA so that you can communicate between the server and the client?

    Hi Kyn,
    Perhaps you (or anyone else!) can help me with this too: is it possible to change the color of the border styles that you choose for the thumbnails on a photo page? There is no "fill" option in the Graphic pane of the inspector when I select one of them. I love some of the styles but would like to be able to match the color better to my pages. See here for an example:
    http://web.mac.com/mousie/iWeb/Site/Recount.html
    The twirly border is a little too orange for my taste.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do i change the background color in pages

    I am using the app on an iPad2. I I would like to know how to change the background color.

    Create a rectangle, and fill the whole page with it. Change the colour and then use text boxes to put writing on the background. Its a bit complicated because the background can move when your moving text boxes and making the rectangle bigger but you'll get the hang of it. I hope Apple can make this easier to do!
